ROckIand.

Ex-Governor Blasdel was a passenger OF
last Tuesdays train bound for San Francisco
He reports work going on slowly at his mine
at Rockland. He has met with several set
backs by having the machinery in the mill
break, and now the water is so short that the
mill is only run daytimes, water being stored
up each night to run through the next day
The Governor is very confident that he has a
bonanza. The mine is looking we'll, and
there is considerable ore in sight. 1t is sill
yer and gold. all free milling, and runs from
$z5 to $50 per ton.

The True BusineAs.

Water is scarce-very scarce-and there i:
much growing among Daytoniles because
they cannot get even water enough to irr,
gate their flower gardens, and for washing
purposes. A. J. Berry seems to be the only
contented man in the community. He has a
nice well and windmill that pumps all the
water he needs and more too. His place is
beautiful to look at it is so green and fragrant,
while all the other gardens in town are dried

Kinds Sleeping Dutchn-an.

His name is Dennis Won Spkem Dwell,
and he is known in Smiths Valley as Kinds
Sleeping Dutchman. Kinds found him
asleep in the saeebrush one day last Spring
found him, as he supposed, dead. This
was an error, however, as the Dutchman
was only asleep. Dickens remarkable Fat
Boy cannot hold candle to Won Spikem,
who.has an appetite equal to a couple Of
Bengal tigers. Kinds has watched with a
sad heart the gradual depletion Of his stores
for the last few months, as all attempts to
get rid of him have been in vain. Kinds
placed Won Spikem at the windlass one day
to assist Charley Norris and John Albert in
sinking shaft on his mine. Spikem went
10 sleep on the windlass and fell into the
shaft carrying the bucket with him, all Of
which fell on Charlie Norris, who thereupon
abandoned the mine, declaring that he was
up to those little games. Kinds protested,
but it was of no use, Norris was satisfied
that it was a cold blooded attempt to break
his back and left. Owing to the scarcity OF
hands Spkem was detailed to assist in haul
ing in the hay and was put on one Of the
wagons to do the loading. This event came
near proving disastrous all around. The
wagon being about half loaded, Kinds as
sisted by Albert. was trying to raise large
bunch of hay to the rack when Spikem wen,
to sleep and fell squarely on the up-coming
load with crushing force, carrying every
thing before him and burrying Kinds be-
meath the hay. 1t was a narrow escape
The prongs Of the forks punctuated the
clothing of Spikem but did not punctuate
the flesh Kinds was so badly scared over
{ the affair that his rheumatic leg tried to run
away with him for an hour or two. AS for
Dennis Won Spikem O'Neil, he, having fall
en- on soft spot, gave grunt Of satisfaction
and was soon sound asleep again. This was
the last straw The commingling Of the
terrific oaths Of Kinds and John Albert with
the gentle snore Of the Sleeping Dutchman
is said to have surpassed anything ever
heard in Smiths Valley. Won Spikem is
still there.

MISCEGENATION.

In The United States the admixture OF
the races is foregone conclusion. The
blood of tho best families of Old Vir-
ginia runs freely in the veins Of many
a negro. A slave breeding State Vir-
ginia sold her sons and daughters to
supply the Southern market. BY care
full inspection Senators. citizens, saints
and sinners, of all classes, could trace
their own aristocratic and mobile blood
of every degree from half-b on to
octoroon until it had faded out into sax
on whiteness. So all over the South,
that hot-bed of chivalry, you can see
miscegenation of all shades, blackish
and whitish, and still more black aad
still more white. There is not anywhere
to be found any more aristocratic or
"high-falutin" admixture of Saxon and
Negro blood than that which flows
through the hearts of many Southern
belle and beau. So also with the Indian.
From Pocahontus and Logan to the poor
squaw and her mate. the white man and
the red man are blood relations. The
French and Indian take to each other
as ducks to water. Tell me gentle rea-
der, If you can, what race on the face
of the whole earth, including the ever
historic Yankee, that has not miscegen-
ated. This delightful admixture has
been going on at rapid rate ever since
Cain went over to the land eff Nod after
a wife. The system of Southern Slave
ry introduced the sons and daughters of
Africa into the American family. The
very genus of the republic is favorable
to the admixture Of the races. No man
can say am of pure blood. Go back @
few generations. Take care, friend
There has been grand .admixture since
God formed Adam out of red clay. A
little yellow, little black, little blue,
and little white stuff has been put int
the solution. More is going in every
day. The die is cast. No law, no chair
gang can arrest or undo what has been
already done. Let us turn our attention
to the only kind of aristocry that is rec
ognized in the higher court-an aristoc-
racy of honesty. Open the doors wide
Invite every man TO come into the fra
ternity. An aristocracy of races has
ruled mankind too long. Let us have
a pure blooded race-one that cannot
steal. We ask the South as well as the
North to accept the situation. Since we
are all OF the same blood, more or less,
let us treat each other as brethren, II
we don't like black. take some other
color. Variety is the spice of life. But

The Pittsburg Di;pdtch is not a Labor
paper, but il has the frnnkness TO blurI ont
strong truths occasionally. In recent
issue il says:
Every combination OF The Standard Oil
sort, every construction company OF the
Credit MObilier variety and evry stock
watering operation of the Gould stamp
means millions OF money taken from the
common people lor the benefit of the cap
italists. The amount taken in that way
may be small sum per capita in each
seperate case, but aggregated 1t amounts to
hundreds, if not thousands, of millions.
When such unjust and illegal methods Of
building up immense fortunes at the ex-
pense of The masses are abolished, il may
be found that it ia easier ior a workingman
to become small capitalist, and 1t may
also be found that Socialism does not find
material to work upon in this country st
easily as il now does"

NATURAL GAS.

The Perrysburg Gas Co. have their
second well under way. starting the drill
on Tuesday morning. II no bad luck
attends their work we will soon hear
from them, and we believe favorable for
Perrysburg's interest.
The Toledo Gas Co. have been distri-
bnting their ten inch mains on louisiana
Avenue, and are engaged in digging tho
trench from the main line, near the
| southwest coroner of the cemetery, into
town in which four inch main will be
laid. We are told that the ten inch main
will be laid on the north side of Front
street and on Louisiana Avenue, as n
reservoir aud to regulate the pressure OF
consumers. So far, we believe. no Of
fort has been made to get at the desire
OF our people, whether they wish to wait
developments of the home company, or
take gas OF the Toledo company, fnrther
than the issuing of circulars. 1t is evi
dent that we will not have to chop wood
or pick up:chips or quarrel about who
shall get up and build the fire in the NOR
ning-and we are prepared to talk
straight business on good solid founda
tion from the ground up, or the ground
down, with an abundance of water, but

That "Fiye Ohio" Sutlcr..

In May, 1861, nm EnglislmNn named
Ezekiel was appointed sniler OF the Fifth
Ohio. A few days aier lie had got his
stock opened Colonel Cumming met him
aud asked him how he was pleased with
his new business.
80, first rate" was the reply.
"The boys patroniIe you. llIen pursued
the Colonel.
"Yes, indeed It's the best and liveiesl
trade ever struck" said the sutler.
The Colonel then asked what companies
dealt with him most literally.
90" said Ezekiel, "they al! do pretty
well, but Company J buy the most goods"
Company J,"said Dnnning; you mean
Company ], don't you 2"
"Naw, dawn't," said Ezekiel; Them
-iellers in Company iii dawn't buy
naw,hin' scarcely. Hi mean Company !"
The Colonel tried 10 explain that there
was no Company J, but the suller wouldn't
have it, and tfiumphan,ly produced his
books, showing the orders on the paymast-
er. An inspection OF the books showed
some strange names for that liberal Com
pany J, and Colonel Dunning assured his
su,ler that not n man of Company J be-
onged TO the command. As soon ma he
mastered the situation Ezekiel pulled a
long face and remarked confdentinlly o
the Colonel:

the market value will now quickly decline
10 about 60 cents per coin, making the state
ment on the authority of n leading banking
house. But il says "the standard dollar is
not affected by the change.
1t must occur to all thinking men that
the reason why the trade dollar coin i'm
medialely declines in value after the date
mentioned, ia solely because the money
quality infused INTO it by law has been with.
drawn. 1t is also just aR plain that the
"standard dollar" is not affected by the
change for the reason that the law pertain
ing to II ia unchanged The trade dollar
coin contains 420 grams of silver. The
government refuses to recognize 1t ms n
dollar and il is worth nothing except as a
commodity which is marked at 60 cents
by pleading banker" while the standard
dollar" with but 4l23 grains OF silver, ~
grains less, is dollar-is equal TO 100 cents
because the law says 80.
In spite Of their wits the hard money fin
anciers are continually Kicking the stuff
ing out Of The intrinsic value dollar.
This proves again as always that dollar
is dollar because the law makes it so.
The trade dollar il said 10 have been made

lieved that II was made by heather Tor the
